Definitions
- the present invention relates to a shape conforming surface covering useful for covering a boat or yacht deck, said surface covering being made of a flexible plastic or resin material that can be laid in curved formations, like PVC, having a colour and lustre imitating the grain effect of a wooden material like teak, mahogany, pine, Oregon pine, redwood, etc., and which, at the upper surface of the covering, is roughened, for instance sanded or filed, so as to imitate any unique grain effect of wooden material, in which
- the surface covering according to the invention is formed by strips of a flexible material and is adapted for being laid in slightly curved formation where necessary, and it is generally intended to imitate a type of deck made by teak, mahogany, Oregon pine etc. and which is sometimes formed with narrow seams by a rubber type material, which is normally of a contrasting colour, often black.
- Curved wooden surfaces necessitate considerable stressing, preparation like adapting of the wooden ribs to any curved surface, fixing by screws, use of sealing compound and regular maintenance, especially scrubbing, oiling and varnishing and the use of pollutant, cleaning chemicals on a regular basis and in large amounts on boat, in particular these chemicals drain into the surrounding water.
- Curved wooden ribs or planks also involve an inherent spring stress requiring a strong fixation, generally using screws or bolts. Further, the new look of a teak deck is lost within weeks, and the whole deck requires major work or replacement in four to six years on average.
- this invention does not require the cutting down of trees and is recyclable.
- the invention can take the place of tropical hardwoods used throughout the world in many applications.
- planks and strips preferably are formed by extrusion of a plastic material and with matching locking means along the longitudinal edges thereof, preferably groove and tongue means.
- the planks likewise can be formed with narrow strips of a different colour imitating seams of the type used in applying wooden deck on a yacht. The colours of the described planks and strips can easily be changed in the manufacturing extrusion process.
- the surface covering as assembled, complete or in sections, is fixed to the recipient surface by means of an adhesive, and to this end the planks and strips preferably are formed with a suitable bottom surface facilitating the fixing of the covering.
- the planks and strips preferably are formed with a suitable bottom surface facilitating the fixing of the covering.
- the surface covering according to the invention can be subjected to various mechanical and manual abrasive techniques for specifically forming the surface of the plastic material such as sanding under specific conditions to provide a surface effect which is extremely similar to that of grained wood both in texture and appearance.
- the caulking is pressed into the recesses for caulking or material and the excess of the caulk is removed by being cut down to the deck or floor level.
- plank strips are formed with matching male and female means at opposite longitudinal edges for interconnecting same aside of each other thereby forming an assembled surface covering an optional length and width, and the caulking strips are formed with a male connection part and the mating edge of the adjacent plank with a female connection part, or vice versa.
- Figure 1 shows a surface covering comprising planks 1 and 2 with an intermediate caulking strip 3 between each pair of planks.
- the planks 1, 2 are formed with male connection means 4 along one longitudinal edge and female connection means 5 along the opposite longitudinal edge.
- the caulking strips are formed with equivalent male and female connection means arranged so that a set of planks 1, 2 and intermediate caulking strips 3 provide an integral unit. Adhesives are used in the joint if necessary. Any number of planks 1, 2 can be connected to each other, both with and without intermediate caulking strips 3.
- the underside of the plank can be formed with a number of recesses 6, which both facilitate a curving of the plank, as illustrated in figure 3 , and form a connection means for glue or a similar material by means of which the surface covering is glue connected to surface covering recipient 7, as illustrated in figure 1 .
- Both the planks and the caulking strips can be made with different colours, imitating wood like teak, mahogany, pine, Oregon pine, redwood, etc.
- the caulking strips preferably are made of another colour than the planks, for instance a black colour imitating the rubber material seams in seamed decks of yachts. It also retains its colour far better than its a natural wood alternative.
- Figure 6 illustrates different types of useful under side surface profiles.
- the cross sections of the various profiles can also include provision for insertion of rigid or injected foam of lighter material to reduce the overall weight, and/or for insulating purposes.
- the planks 1 and 2 and the caulking strips 3, including the male and female connection means 4, 5 and under surface recesses 6 can be formed in endless lengths by any known process, like injection press extrusion of press moulding.
- the planks 1 and 2 preferably are formed by a plastic material which is stiff enough for keeping the planks and caulking together as an integral unit, but which can still be formed in a curvature adapted to the curvature of the recipient 7.
- Planks can be joined in the longitudinal direction as shown with planks 8 and 9 and a cross extending caulking strip 10 in figure 2 .
- the planks can be formed in a curvature preferably using heat from a hot air gun or a hair dryer 11, as indicated in figure 3.
- Figure 4 fragmentarily shows a curved surface covering consisting of three planks and intermediate caulking strips.
- planks and the caulking strips can be arranged for interconnection in several ways.
- FIG 5a and 5e (not part of the invention) is shown that the planks and the caulking strips have straight side edges and are adapted to be connected by glue or by a welding process;
- figure 5b, c, e and f illustrate interconnection of the planks and the caulking strips by means of male and female connection means, and
- figure 5d illustrates an interconnection using overlapping portions of the planks and the caulking strips.
- Figure 5f illustrates that the planks 12 can be co-extruded with a caulking strip 13, whereby, in the illustrated case, the caulking strip 13 is formed with male connection means 4 and the plank 12 is formed with female connection means 5.
- Figure 5g shows a co-extruded plank and caulking strip with the male connection means in the caulking strip; figure 5h shows an equivalent co-extrusion in which the caulking strip is formed with female connection means.
- Figure 5i shows an example of how the upper surface joining profile enables a locking process to take place where the edges are prevented from lifting when the product is assembled, with or without the caulking part of the co-extrusion being under compression upon joining.
- the male and female connection means are provided in the plank parts, and a caulking strip is applied as a narrow strip on top of a part of the male connection means.
- Figure 5j shows an embodiment where a section of the plank or of the profiles used in particular applications is filled with foam of a light weight material.
- Other examples of profiles with or without foam filling to requirements for edgings, cutting out of shapes etc. to comprises a system or compendium or shapes and profiles are shown in figure 5k (1, 2, 3, 4).
- caulking strip could be a softer material than that of the plank to come under compression, captive or otherwise when the product is assembled
- Figure 6 shows a cross section of an extruded plank, in which there are shown, for illustrative purposes, several types of bottom surface recesses
- the planks are, according to the invention, sanded, for instance using a belt sander 14 a shown in figure 7 .
- the belt sander is brought to attack the plank, specifically using the curved or roller part of the sanding belt, in an angle of for instance 45° and is moved along the plank in direction shown with the arrow.
- a rotary wire brush can also be used in specific conditions to produce a desired effect, in required.
- said sanding makes the upper surface of the surface covering an extremely non slip structure. The sanding operation can be repeated a great many times, even in the laid surface covering.
- Figure 8 shows an alternative type of sanding the planks, whereby the belt sander acts at an angle of about 60° to the longitudinal direction of the planks. Said angular strokes across the surface will produce individual effects using a power file 15.
- Figure 9 shows diagrammatically how an abrasive rotary tool can be used to produce the wool grain effect on the upper surface of the plank.
- various effects can be obtained like the meeting angle 16 in figure 7 , the speed of rotation in figure 9 , the coarseness of grit, the direction of stroke 17, which conditions are of importance to react with the formulation of the plastic surface to produce the unique grain effect.
- Figure 10 shows an example of use of a piece of surface covering or a curved border type plank mounted in contact with another cross extending border plank, like a plank sheet of a yacht.
- the assembled surface covering material 18 is glued at the bottom side thereof and laid as shown in figure 11 by rolling the back of the covering material onto the recipient surface 19. Cutting and trimming of the surface covering is readily achieved, for instance with the use of a sharp knife.
